It begins to drizzle.
Light rain gives way to a torrential downpour.
The cloudburst’s flow streams down my face in rivers
running away to the sea
of forgotten souls in which I swim,
where there is no moon to pull the tide,
the source of all sorrow and sin.
Upon its waves I ride,
surrounded by bluesy melancholy abyss.
This vast expanse filled to the brim
with nothing-ness.
And, as impossible as it may seem to be-
drowning in this sea
of fallen tears and scars-
when I gaze up at night,
I sometimes see the light,
the light of a thousand stars.
And, though the waves may try to drag me under,
and the sea may try to take me over,
I know I will be alright,
just as long as I can see the light-
the light of a thousand stars.
Sometimes, the light comes down, even
lifts my frown,
and, momentarily,
it carries
this poor devil, angel-like,
all the way up to heaven,
where the nights are bright,
and I can see by the light-
the light of a thousand stars.
The Light of a Thousand Stars
